Which set of standardized perioperative nursing vocabulary provides a clear, precise, and universal language for clinical problems and surgical treatments?

  1. Omaha Home Health Care System OHHCS

  2. Nursing Outcome Classification NOC

  3. Perioperative Nursing Data Set PNDS

  4. Nursing Interventions Classifications NIC

The correct answer is: Perioperative Nursing Data Set PNDS

The correct answer is C. Perioperative Nursing Data Set (PNDS). PNDS is a standardized vocabulary that focuses specifically on perioperative nursing, providing a clear, precise, and universal language for describing clinical problems and surgical treatments in the perioperative setting. Options A, B, and D are not focused on perioperative nursing vocabulary. Omaha Home Health Care System (OHHCS) is a system more geared towards home health care, Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) is a system for measuring patient outcomes, and Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC) focuses on nursing interventions in general, not specifically related to perioperative nursing vocabulary.
